Manscaping sounds a bit like something that requires a manual and a map. But Tracy Flem-ing, owner of the holistic salon Beautiful Me, could do it with her eyes closed. (Don’t worry, guys—she doesn’t.) “Men come in to get waxed and find out it doesn’t hurt as much as they thought,” she says. “After that, they get hooked.” A single mom and Austin native, Fleming owned a similar salon in Maui before returning to Aus-tin. What she loves most about her job is the hu-man interaction and the friendships that come when someone trusts their body to her care.

Sometimes you can do everything right—eat fresh foods, get lots of sleep and moisturize—but your skin still needs a boost. That’s where Cheeky Salon owner Abby Bridges comes in. Bridges previously worked in a dermatologist’s office but didn’t appreciate the cold and clinical atmosphere. At Cheeky, she advises clients on products, skin maintenance and homecare in a friendly envi-ronment. And her glowing facials improve skin conditions from premature aging and sun damage to loss of vitality and radiance. One session with Bridges, and your face will go from dull to dreamy.
I really dig
the vibe at hiatus spa
+ retreat.
I had a scalp
treatment there that
melted away my
stress. I love how they
infuse aromatherapy
into every service.
